Police say no foul play is suspected after authorities recovered a body in a structure fire Monday in Mt. Juliet.

According to the Mt. Juliet Police Department, firefighters located the unidentified body while attempting to extinguish a fire at an outbuilding that had been converted to a residence at 701 W. Division St.

As of Tuesday evening, investigators were still working to positively identify the deceased.

Around 4 p.m. Monday, someone got the attention of a nearby Mt. Juliet police officer, who arrived at the scene "to find the building heavily involved in fire," according to police Capt. Tyler Chandler.

After rushing to the residence, neighbors told the officer there were possibly two people inside who lived in the converted building. Firefighters only recovered one body and confirmed that a second resident wasn't at the home at the time.

Police detectives were sent to the scene to investigate. On Tuesday, the department confirmed that detectives had found no indication the case was suspicious.

"Any time you find a deceased person on a fire scene, you want to investigate that fully to determine what happened," Chandler initially said Monday night, adding that authorities had not yet determined the cause of death.

The body was taken to the medical examiner.

Mt. Juliet Fire Chief Jamie Luffman said four agencies were assisting with investigating the fire. In addition to the city's police and fire departments, the State Fire Marshal's Office and Tennessee Bureau of Investigation were also on scene Monday.
